Thank you for your question. This will have to be determined after an exam, and whether your harvest sites are healthy for fat transfer, and the possible issues with the site after explant has been performed. The fat usually is placed deep near and in the muscle, not in the capsule. I hope this helps.

The PIP implants can be replaced with another type of implant or fat grafting can be considered. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE training who performs hundreds of breast augmentations each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

I Want to Remove my Implants and Have a Fat Transfer Augmentation?

This can be done provided you have enough donor fat to use for grafting. Most would advise doing the grafting at a second stage, after the implants have been removed and the skin has settled. Using different implants is also a consideration you should discuss with your surgeon.
